The Democratic governor released his plan for the upcoming fiscal year on Friday. He says the state”s primary fiscal goal should be fully filling the state”s rainy day fund before the next recession begins.

Brown says his goal is to protect social services from the devastating cuts they suffered during the Great Recession.

His administration is forecasting a return to deficits when temporary income taxes on incomes over $250,000 a year expire in 2019. Brown championed the taxes in 2012.

But he again declined to take a position on an initiative to extend the taxes to 2031.

10:15 a.m.:

Gov. Jerry Brown is proposing a $122.2 billion budget plan, down slightly from his January proposal as he projects tax revenues will come in nearly $2 billion less than expected.

The budget Brown released Friday for the fiscal year starting in July projects the state will return to deficits when temporary income taxes on the wealthy expire in 2019.

Brown says “the surging tide of revenue is beginning to turn.”

The Democratic governor included some spending increases sought by his fellow Democrats, including higher spending for development disability services and higher payments to Medi-Cal providers.

Tax collections have slowed since Brown proposed a $122.6 billion general fund spending plan in January. By law, about half the state”s spending goes to K-12 education and higher education.

Gov. Jerry Brown is scheduled to release his revised state budget Friday amid concerns about declining revenue and mounting pressure from some of his fellow Democrats to increase the flow of money to people struggling to get by.

By law, about half the state”s spending goes to K-12 education and higher education. One of every $5 in Brown”s January budget went to health care, and 9 percent was for prisons.

Since the original spending plan was made public, California”s tax collections have slowed, due in part to stock market hiccups earlier this year. The state controller reported Tuesday that revenue in April was $1.19 billion short.
